Right about now, other outlets across games media will be publishing their reviews of the next Ubisoft game, Star Wars Outlaws. We plan to do the same, but we're going to need quite a bit more time before that can happen. While we did receive PS5 review code at the same time as everyone else, assistant editor and Star Wars fan Liam Croft has spent the last 11 days away from his PS5 in Germany, for Gamescom. If only he'd bought a PS Portal!
As such, our Star Wars Outlaws playthrough only began last night. We expect to publish a full PS5 review at some point next week as a result. In the meantime, we will have Guides content to help any of you looking to jump in immediately. If not, feel free to wait until our verdict is live on the site. The open worlder is available tomorrow with the Gold Edition and Ultimate Edition, while the base game launches on Friday.
What do you think of the critical reception so far? Has it convinced you to get the game? Let us know in the comments below.
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
Couldn't Push Square have given the review code to someone else on the team then?
Looks like it's going to average out a between a 7 or 8 out of 10 based on the reviews so far and I am happy with that.
One of my 10/10 Ubisoft games I have spent hundreds of hours on is Watch Dogs Legion which got a 76 so I feel like my own personal score may be higher.
I do love a bit of Ubisoft open world action once or twice a year as a mixer for stuff like Persona 5, BG3 and Like a Dragon.
@Zeroo Exactly that^
@Zeroo Other members of the team had their hands full already covering other games.
78% on MC so far for PS5 and that's fine by me. Got the Gold version pre-ordered and just waiting until midnight to finally play it
I love most of Ubisoft open world games, so I'll be playing it
